Bruins Nation Duck Aberration

Everything has been said ad nauseam in detail that I don’t care to get into. But here are my simpler observations and like I mention they have already been said.

The 3rd quarter was an aberration. We will not probably see this happen again in our live times. I don’t think any other coaching staff would have adjusted any better than CRN and Co. That fact that it has generated so much buzz is a testament to its extraordinary occurrence.

Somebody said this week, and my apologies to the author for my atrocious memory:“play calling is overrated.” I agree. I think the success of plays balance out and I say this without any data. I just believe things tend to regress to the mean and the more important aspect of play calling is the execution of the play.

The QB “sneek”, the one play call I will question, and not because it was a bad play per se but because we did not have proper personnel to execute it. To expect a kid recovering from a broken face smash-mouth his way to the endzone is just plain stupid.

Prince was not ready and it was obvious from the start. KC should have “managed” the game. How it was not obvious to the coaching staff is beyond me.

I am not going to get into the Breahut-Prince debate, but I’m not going to deny what I say on the field. Holy fucking cow, that dude is awesome. Why he’s not playing I will leave to the coaches. Something there that we are not privy to is holding up Breahut. I don’t think it is the misreads, for you need game time experience to really resolve those issues-nothing like getting pancaked to reinforce your learning, and alternatively, nothing like a completion or correct read to reinforce it also.

Now if you noticed all the things I said, or repeated for that matter, the responsibility falls squarely on the coaches feet. It is too soon to abandon any player or even adjust our season expectation. Let’s move on from this aberration and provide our unyielding support to our team-and I mean every player-who are probably just as bomb shelled as we are, if not worse

(Not implying that anybody here is not supporting our players, just calling a round up and as N. mentioned before, let’s “cowboy up”)

P.S. Norrie sucks and the Angels kicked ass!
